Anyone know where I can get the two side cam covers in clear ( so you can see the cams ) for newage

been looking around for ages but can't find them anywhere ..

gaz-cole

never seen any mate are you on about the rocker covers? saw the biker build off a while ago with the motoxers and they used lexan? i think but was a pain to seal but looked cool and would imagine it would be dear!

cdfracing

Yeah as you look into the engine the black plastic cover come off in three parts... I wanted them in clear so you can see the cams running ... like they have on evo's.

been looking for ages.. surely someone must do them

You mean the cambelt cover. All you would see is the belt and the pulleys.

I have never seen anything like that on an evo or a scoob do you have a photo ? seems a bit flashy though IMHO and prob a lot of cash !!

may have to go to China to have them made

finchyboy

That's a timing belt cover not a cam cover !! I know now what you mean i've seen them on a few cossie's before.

cdfracing

cdfracing

Does anyone know if the standard rocker covers will fit all ej20 engine's or do the covers change at all ?

Ask RC developments where theyre clear cam cover suppliers are..

cdfracing

do they do scooby ones?

finchyboy

The rocker cover's / cam covers are all the same as far as i know. The timing belt covers however are different on the new age cars to the classic but when they changed i'm not sure exactly

cdfracing

Okay cheers...

Im just in talks with a company in China who can makes these in a clear heat proof material ... the same stuff police use as there riot shields,

The oulay is quite big but if there was enough interest then they could work out quite cheap ...

anyone interested ?

It could work out very pricey as different phases of engines have different shape covers i.e. a STI 1 cover will not fit on an STI 5.

cdfracing

Still can't no-one that stocks them .

I have had a reply and it's not cheap!.... well they are but it's a big outlay!


They require £3k to make a special large tool that moulds the material to the shape ... the a furtehr £3-£4k to produce 400 parts (Min Order)

So they would work out £17.50 a part (Roughly)

They may be able to make all versions from the same tool?

cdfracing

Id rather have em in carbon myself.

I had a carbon creations one on my cossie and it was gorgeous.

scotthldr

Now if the rest of the covers were Carbon then I understand.

cdfracing

It's really for peeps with lightweight / coloured / adjustable pulleys show they can show them off , but yes I understand there's not a big market for them - Hence not worth doing !

Frayz , you have to show off don't ya ! Are those yours?
